From starting pitcher to bullpen pitcher, he came back as starting pitcher. Veteran Moon Seung-won, who will play the role of starting pitcher for the SSG Landers this season, is continuing his strides early in the season.온라인카지노
Since his debut in the first division in 2012, Moon has played many seasons mainly as a starter, and in 2019, he achieved double-digit wins with 11 wins, 7 losses and a 3.88 ERA with 144 innings in 26 games. However, last year, he switched to the bullpen due to team circumstances, and marked 6 wins, 1 loss, 20 saves with a 4.50 ERA in 62 games and 60 innings.
SSG made changes in the process of preparing for this season. It has decided to use Moon Seung-won as a starting pitcher again. As Kim Min joined through trade, it was necessary to reorganize the bullpen, and from the team's point of view, Moon Seung-won was better to take the mound as a starter than a bullpen.
Even before the opening of the regular season, foreign pitcher Mitch White left due to injury, making the shoulders of existing starters heavier, but Moon Seung-won focused on playing his role. He pitched well against the Munhak Lotte Giants on the 25th of last month, his first appearance of the season, with three hits, two outs, four strikeouts, and two runs in six innings, and in the Gocheok Kiwoom Heroes on the 30th, he won his first victory of the season with three hits (one homer) and three strikeouts and one run in five ⅔ innings.
Moon also met his team's expectations at a match against KT Wiz in Munhak on Sunday. He achieved his second quality start of this season by allowing four hits, two strikeouts and no run in six innings. Although he delayed his second win of this season to another opportunity due to lack of scoring support from the batters, he displayed a fierce pitching competition with Cho Hyung-joon, laying the groundwork for his victory.
Although it is still early in the season, SSG's choice to start with Moon Seung-won added stability to the starting team. SSG had the team's 2.45 ERA until Thursday's game, the second lowest after the LG Twins (2.39). SSG ranks fourth in ERA as a starting pitcher (3.12), and first in ERA in the bullpen (1.58). Although SSG ranks ninth in batting average (0.231), it has garnered good performance by posting seven wins and three losses (0.700) in its opening 10 games thanks to pitchers' good pitching.
No matter how experienced a pitcher is in starting, it is never easy for him to switch positions in a short period of time. Even the head coach must be aware of this. "I am grateful to (Moon) Seung-won," SSG coach Lee Soo-yong said. "(Cho) Byung-hyun played his role as the closing pitcher, and asked Seung-won for his understanding to change his position after seeing this year, but now he seems to be getting along well. I can see that everything has been upgraded step by step," he said.
"I want to concentrate on every game of every inning. Coach Kyung Heon-ho told me, 'I think it would be good to throw the ball aggressively because I have good pitching capability,' so I believe that confident pitching led to a good result," he said after the game on Sunday. "I want to be a help to the team in every game."
